Why Not a Federal Data Base Administrator.

Abstract

The need for a Data Base Administrator (DBA) in organizations having a significant data base workload has been well documented. These needs are amplified by several orders of magnitude at the federal level where the size, type, complexity and use of data bases are a matter of constant concern to private citizens and government officials alike. Yet there is no central position of authority, no point of coordination within the government, to handle data base matters. This paper proposes the creation of a Federal Data Base Administration to fill this need.
